I Made it Another Year: My Battle With Cancer

Well, here we are. My birthday. I made it another year in life but sometimes I wonder how. This time 6 months ago I was feeling the worst I've ever felt in my life. I had not yet been given the diagnosis of cancer but something was very very wrong and nobody could figure out what it was exactly. Fast forward to today. I'm feeling much better. We've gotten a handle on this cancer bullshit and it's just about outta here. To be honest, 6 months ago seems like a lifetime and I honestly did not know if I would even make it to my next birthday. Today, here I am. Still going strong.

Not much has changed. They found a new lump under my chin which always raises concern especially when dealing with Lymphoma. Could it be another enlarged lymph node? I had an MRI to check and have yet to hear the results....that'll most likely come next week at my oncologist appointment. Then, the very last chemo treatment. I'm excited to say the least.

I'm not too worried about the new lump. It has since decreased in size and doesn't really hurt. Cancer usually doesn't just go away like that but we shall wait and see but as I said, I'm not too worried. As I said, August 26th is my final chemo treatment (God willing) and I can begin to put this nightmare behind me.

I also wanted to take the time to thank everyone who came out to the Street Dance last week and bought a raffle ticket. You'll be happy to know that DeTar has already received the money and my medical bills are that much lower thanks to all of you. My wife and I appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.

That's all for an update....for now. I will post another update blog when I get the results from the MRI back and all that jazz.
